*Editor’s Note---Saint
Robert was home to an Ike Martin Music Store as early as December 1974 when the
Pulaski County Democrat reported that Mr. & Mrs. Ron Reed were the new
managers. A seemingly abandoned (but stocked) Ike Martin Music Store was located
just east (37.827531, -92.173484) of the IGA Foodliner on Route 66 as late as 1989.
